Popeye’s runs out of chicken in Rochester, NY.   The people respond.

So sad yet so hilarious

Really irks me the way the reporters where smiling at the end as if they knew this wasn’t a real news story. It runs like a hilarious bad script.

Comedy and stereotypes go hand in hand…That’s why intellectuals have a hard time with humor

I guess this is kinda true but I still have my reservations…about both the stereotype and intellectual part.

Alot of comedy breaks stereotypes.  Some comedians could be considered intellectuals. But I bet Nelson George only meant this statment in context of this article about Tyler Perry/Madea so I won’t take it too seriously.  I do think that alot of higher educated types are more likely to be offended by alot of things though…

Any thoughts?
